Babooshka
VERSE
Dm
She wanted to test her husband
G7sus4/C Bb6 D/F#
She knew exactly what to do
Bbmaj7 Am7
A pseudonym to fool him
Gm7 C/E D/F#
She couldn't have made a worse move
VERSE
Dm
She sent him scented letters
G7sus4/C Bb6 D/F#
And he received them with a strange delight
Bbmaj7 Am7
Just like his wife
Gm7 C/E D/F#
But how she was before the tears
BRIDGE
Gm7 C/E D/F#
And how she was before the years flew by
Gm7 C/E [ G7sus4 ]
And how she was when she was beautiful

VERSE
Dm
She wanted to take it further
G7sus4/C Bb6 D/F#
So she arranged a place to go
Bbmaj7 Am7
To see if he
Gm7 C/E D/F#
Would fall(-uh) for her incognito
VERSE
Dm
And when he laid eyes on her
G7sus4/C Bb6 D/F#
He got the feeling they had met before
Bbmaj7 Am7
Uncanny how she
Gm7 C/E D/F#
Reminds him of his little lady
BRIDGE
Gm7 C/E D/F#
Capacity to give him all he needs
Gm7 C/E D/F#
Just like his wife before she freezed on him
Gm7 C/E [ G7sus4 ]
Just like his wife when she was beautiful
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
| G7sus4 G7sus4/A | G7sus4/Bb |
He shouted out
